InClassica International Music Festival presents Fazil Say - Piano Genius at Dubai OperaOn Monday, February 5th, the 2024 InClassica International Music Festival, organized by SAMIT Event Group, will enchant audiences with captivating melodies at Dubai Opera. This special concert, held under the support of the Turkish Business Council in Dubai, features the esteemed Turkish pianist Fazil Say. Recognized with accolades such as the Music Prize of the city of Duisburg (2017), the International Beethoven Prize for Human Rights, Peace, Freedom, Poverty Reduction, and Inclusion, and a four-time ECHO Klassik Award-winner, Fazil Say will showcase his exceptional talent in a classical performance accompanied by the Berlin Symphony Orchestra and conducted by the gifted Armenian conductor Sergey Smbatyan.
Concert ProgramThe evening will open with Danse Macabre, a legendary tone poem written in 1874 by Camille Saint-Saëns that depicts Death dancing with his various minions on Halloween. Starting its life in 1872 as an art song for voice and piano, the piece would be reworked in 1874, with the vocal line replaced by the solo violin part. Another work by Saint-Saëns will come next, namely his Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, an 1868 work that was remarkably written in only three weeks, but which has gone on to become easily one of the composer’s most popular concertos.
Following this, Smbatyan and the orchestra will then turn to Johannes Brahms for their final piece, presenting their interpretation of his celebrated Symphony No. 4 in E minor, an 1885 work in four movements that would prove to be the last of the German composer’s symphonies.
